Product data sheet (Building and construction, 2022-7-18): Applications: Bermocoll® CCM 879A is used in gypsum based mortars to improve the workability, consistency and water retention. Bermocoll® CCM 879A prolongs the open time and provides high sag resistance. Storage: In unopened bags, Bermocoll® CCM 879A can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® CCM 879A will be influenced by the air humidity. Packaging and transport: Like many industrial powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface. Bermocoll® CCM 879A is packed in polyethylene bag. Net weight 20 kg. The empty bags can be recycled or burned. In unopened bags, Bermocoll® CCM 879A can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® CCM 879A will be influenced by the air humidity. Safety and handling: Bermocoll® CCM 879A should be admixed in dry form before the water is added. Due to its particle size Bermocoll® CCM 879A will dissolve rapidly after addition of water to the dry mix. At the temperatures above 250°C (480°F), charring of Bermocoll® CCM 879A will occur. At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® CCM 879A will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose. Certifications: Nouryon Functional Chemicals AB has been certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
